I have seen both the huntara ep. and the house of shokoti 2 parter.... a few times ... and I also want BOTH figures. I've seen every POP episode as well, and I am a fan. I never said every pop fan was female, nor that every motu fan was male .... but the pop property was aimed at female, and every time we have a vote the lesser pop fans show up in droves to vote, like seniors at an election.

I stated I do like huntara, and her episode is good. But this is MOTUC, not POPC and Masque is far more important to the masters story, and epic 2 parter than huntara and her 1 she-ra episode.... but never fear, huntara will win .... even if she isnt the fan favorite.

She-Ra herself is an after thought .... this is MOTU-C, Huntara is cool, I want her too, but she's episode 45 in a cartoon that only exists because He-Man had such awesome episodes like house of Shokoti.

This line stopped being MOTU-C the moment Adora was announced.

Masque and Huntara both have their own merits. But the idea that casual POP fans who really don't care about the line but want to vote will just rush to SDCC and swarm that panel so that Huntara wins is pretty darn far fetched.

UGH! What a vote!
I love them both they have great creepy voices!
I did go with Huntara because i remembered her better.
I really want a Masque figure though.
This had to be the toughest vote on the board thus far for me.

Wow! I just tied it up at 57 each. I voted Lord Masque. I think that this is a little lopsided because with Shokoti being made Lord Masque should be a given. I would like both, but went with the "must have" due to previous figures....

See, I feel that this is not only the fairest argument one could make for Lord Masque (and one I wouldn't even try to argue with), but also the biggest indicated that this is an unfair vote.

Masque IS needed to accompany Shokoti. But if Shokoti hadn't been announced yet, one must wonder how the vote would look. Then again, it's not like the two ever interacted onscreen.

But Huntara is the star of a FANTASTIC episode of POP. And she's every bit as deserving.

Regardless, if Scott truly cared about PoP, he could make room for both. For example, I'm sure Val would love a PowerCon exclusive.

PoP Variants are part of the vintage line, too! Starburst She-Ra, Shower Power Catra, and Scratchin' Sound Catra for 2015!!!

YES Huntara all the way! Such a great character and would be so amazing to see what the 4H can do with her sculpt. Motu vs. Pop out the door here, just go with toy design representation and Huntara will surely WOW ya.

If nothing else...do it for Illumina!

I still want Lord Masque but he stands a better chance of being made later on anyways.

I do think that this vote should be made by people buying the subs, not a random panel audience. Why should someone that might not buy a sub get to choose who goes in it?

Scott was able to adjust the line up of 2012 to accommodate for Shadow Weaver. And that was late in the game. He could have done the same for the Filmation sub of 2013, swapping out Nepthu for a more demanded figure. They trademarked the name. It's pretty obvious that's who we are getting. The fan polls have shown him to be way low on the customers priority list. Like 40 below.

I don't think voting for a character I might have to own, and will have to pay for (regardless if I sell it or not, I still have to dish my money out, and may never get it back) if I choose to resub, should be left to people who may not ever plan to sub.... I think it should have been another vote after you bought the 2014 sub, not an SDCC poll for random fans who might attend.

I wouldn't mind a Nepthu, some day, but I do agree there are far more important Filmation characters out there that deserve the attention first....

But this line has always been Scott's personal toybox, not ours....hasn't it? .No matter how many times we benefited by Scott's wants for figures in MOTUC. Sadly, even with votes, we have no true idea of knowing how many voted for who....and on Scott's word alone....we could get who he wants anyway.

So the winner will be in the 2014 monthly figure but won't be in the last 3 of this year's Filmation sub? Does that mean both are already made and the voting just determines which sub-group they'll be in?

No. ToyGuru has confirmed in a recent Ask Matty thread that neither has even made it to the prototype stage. This vote simply determines which of them even makes it that far.

Not really, it's all Masters of the Universe....Adora is Adam's sister after all, it's not like they made She-Ra some obscure off the wall new character with a whole new story....POP started off with the MOTU icon himself finding his lost sister....so it's all related....

She-Ra might be the Princess of Power, but being Randor's daughter....by default makes her a MOTU.

Of course he could have, but he purposefully didn't...

...because on Scott's personal list Nepthu is high up there above Masque and Huntara, so he consciously left out requested A/B-list characters in order to shoehorn his D-lister favourite before the line ends.

The results of this poll and in other ones show both of these characters to be consistently at the top of Filmation wants, and virtually dead even with each other all the time. That's more than enough proof to Mattel that they're essential! If there's another Filmation sub next year, they both need to be fast tracked to be in it!

These two locked in dead heat just screams out "Make the loser a Con Exclusive or Sub Exclusive Figure for 2015!"
I wonder if the '14/'15 roadmap has its convention items locked in as part of the plan, or if those slots are "open". Because if it's "open", then the loser could easily be put into '15 as either that year's Sub Exclusive, SDCC exclusive, or an item for Power Con!
